Got sprawl?

Dear Ed Shadid:

A couple of suggestions regarding OKC's urban sprawl.

First: stop annexing outlying towns. You might even ask people in what used to be an outlying town if they want their town back. Seriously, isn't this how all this sprawl happened in the first place?

Second: can't afford to provide services? Simple: deregulate so we can provide our own. I'm sure there are people here who would be more than happy to provide their own "essential services" if the City would just give up its monopoly over them.

BTW, I notice the ad in the Gazette for your event says no taxpayer dollars are being spent on the event. So who IS paying for it?

Sincerely,
Rob Abiera
